Considerata



I am alone but not necessarily lonely. I have friends, I have a wonderful family. When it comes to emotions, I am wary. I rely more on my mind than my heart. That lends well to comedy, but as a dramatic actor I am lousy. I am friendly, but I don’t trust easily. I’m still learning to love myself, but it isn’t easy—just one look at my beel-beel, and my self-esteem nose-dives. At times I come off as a know-it-all, yet I’m painfully aware that I don’t know it all.

Will there be someone who can sweep me off my feet? I think I’m too grounded to be swept away anymore. I fear I may be too set in my soltero ways. If there’s going to be an Other in my life, he will have to be an Independent too.

With my feet firmly on the ground and my tongue firmly in cheek, I will assume the best and hope for the worst.
